Eccentric binary black holes: A new framework for numerical relativity waveform surrogates

Peter James Nee, Adhrit Ravichandran, Scott E. Field +17

Mounting evidence indicates that some of the gravitational wave signals observed by the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA observatories might arise from eccentric compact object binaries, increasin…

Consistency of spin effects between numerical relativity and perturbation theory for inspiraling comparable-mass black hole binaries

Tousif Islam, Gaurav Khanna, Scott E. Field

Numerical relativity (NR) provides the most accurate waveforms for comparable-mass binary black holes but becomes prohibitively expensive for increasingly asymmetric mass ratios. P…

Chase Orbits, not Time: A Scalable Paradigm for Long-Duration Eccentric Gravitational-Wave Surrogates

Akash Maurya, Prayush Kumar, Scott E. Field +6

Orbital eccentricity is a key tracer of the astrophysical origins of compact binaries. Yet it remains absent from routine LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA analyses, in part because of the prohibit…

The SXS Collaboration's third catalog of binary black hole simulations

Mark A. Scheel, Michael Boyle, Keefe Mitman +56

We present a major update to the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes (SXS) Collaboration's catalog of binary black hole simulations. Using highly efficient spectral methods implemented i…

Modeling the BMS transformation induced by a binary black hole merger

Guido Da Re, Keefe Mitman, Leo C. Stein +12

Understanding the characteristics of the remnant black hole formed in a binary black hole merger is crucial for conducting gravitational wave astronomy. Typically, models of remnan…
